Packaging is data, not an afterthought
Regulations such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation push companies to document what packaging is made of and how recyclable it is. That requires structured packaging data per product.
Packaging Passports and PPWR: Capturing Materials and Recyclability
Packaging rules increasingly demand detailed data on materials, weight, recycled content, and recyclability. Utomo turns packaging into structured, publishable data.
Model packaging the way it is built
In Utomo you define a packaging structure with component types and tiers, reuse a component library or add custom components, and record materials such as plastic and metal at the component level.
Quantify and prove
Capture total weight, recycled content, recyclability, and repairability, attach environmental documents, then publish a passport and share it via a QR code or NFC tag resolving to a GS1 Digital Link — so the data is verifiable, not buried in a spreadsheet.
What you can capture in Utomo
Packaging rules increasingly demand detailed data on materials, weight, recycled content, and recyclability. Utomo turns packaging into structured, publishable data.
- Component types and tiers for each packaging structure
- Materials per component (e.g. plastic, metal)
- Total weight and recycled-content percentages
- Recyclability, repairability, and attached documents
Frequently asked questions
What is a packaging passport?
It is a structured record of a product’s packaging — components, materials, weight, and recyclability — that can be shared with partners and regulators, often as part of a wider Digital Product Passport.
Does Utomo support multi-component packaging?
Yes. You can define a packaging structure with multiple component types and tiers, reuse a shared component library, or add custom components per product.
Can we report recycled content?
You can capture recycled content along with total weight, recyclability, and repairability, and attach supporting documents to back up the figures.
